She's Back....!
I picked up my Lola in Phoenix this weekend and she looks great! The body shop did an awesome job and I can't complain. I celebrated by covering the 450 miles back home in just under 4 hours. Gotta go get reacquainted...

Good to hear that you are satisfied with the work. NOW DRIVE IT HOME LIKE YOU STOLE IT,but of course go gently for first 10 minutes to let her warm up.

Jeph, I don't think we need any proof from Rail26 other than his word....he is an officer in the Armed Services! That's good enough for me!

Rail26, congrat's on getting your car back. That was quick...but probably not to you.

As a former serviceman myself, I can attest that all facts of good stories are likely to be questionable, but only if the story starts with the words, “now this ain’t no sh#$...”

Of course, things could be different for officers...

Rail, how's the exhaust upgrade working out for you? Any difference in sound?

Driving in the southwest at 110 for 4 hours…what a great way to cure paint!
Congrats! Also nice to hear the shop met your expectations.
